Interactive student education seminar

AN INTERACTIVE seminar focusing on defining 'excellence' in student education will be led by an award-winning academic.

Professor Prem Kumar, Director of Education at College of Medical & Dental Sciences at the University of Birmingham, will lead the event: ‘I don’t know what it is but I’ll recognise it when I see it - What’s the E in TEF?’.

Prof Kumar will share his own thoughts on how we define ‘excellence’ in student education and give an insight into his own experiences in promoting active learning in biomedical student education through use of app-based technology.

He was awarded the Otto Hutter Teaching Prize by the Physiological Society in 2015.

This LICAMM TENet student education seminar will be jointly hosted with the University of Leeds Bioscience Education Research Group (ULBERG) and requires no registration. Attendees are urged to bring their smartphone.

LICAMM TENet is a new teaching enhancement network based in the Leeds Institute for Cardiovascular & Metabolic Medicine, School of Medicine, that will support staff who are involved in, or are interested in, student education.

TENet provides a combination of information, training, development, scholarship and networking opportunities through regular focussed meetings and discussion groups, as well as a series of seminars by external speakers. Through this network, we aim to enhance teaching quality and foster excellence in student education.
